Comment:
A truly fantastic professor. Intelligent, kind, and humble (humility is uncommon among intellectuals, I'm afraid, but he's frank and doesn't feel the need to insecurely lace his arguments with needless jargon). Also, he respects students' questions and answers them thoroughly. Very easygoing personality but expects much precision on exams/essays.

I LOVE Professor Zimmerman!!! He is a super smart dude and really nice. Exams are kinda hard... so study, the arguments are not simple, however Dean spends a large amount of time going over them and he makes power points so your able to just listen (if thats your thing)

Dean is a great guy, if he doesn't make a point clear the first time around then he will very nicely reexplain. his class is not that hard and you learn a lot

Comment:
This guy rocks. He's enthusiastic, intelligent, helpful, brings out interesting points of the subject matter. Welcomes ?'s & discussion. Takes time to understand student ?'s & comments & make his lectures clear. Yes, he is rather thin; maybe should eat a sandwich now & then. Cute, in a slender way.

One of the best professors in a generally outstanding philosophy department. Engages useful class discussions while respecting everyone's comments. The man should go to the gym once in a while though, he's a little thin...

Excellent prof & person; respects everyone's ?'s; makes sure you understand stuff; I disagree w/comment re: not talking metaphysics; except for some small chat/joke here & there, it was all metaphysics; approachable, helpful, humorous. Would take agai

You guys are all right that he is a nice guy, but he is an absolutely horrible professor. He moves so slowly it makes the subject material stink. Sure, whatever he's talking about is interesting, but usually it's not metaphysics

phil major w/ senioritis and took 200 level class and he made that interesting. It was amazing that I made it to a 10am class just for that. he's really helpful, draws in advanced concepts for those who like phil, but doesn't talk abstract nonsense
